RCB-W vs GG-W, Match 9, Cricket Tips: Royal Challengers Bengaluru have had a great start to the WPL 2026, as they have been at the top of the table with two consecutive games. Smriti Mandhana and her team will aim for another win as they take on Gujarat Giants Women on Friday at Dr. DY Patil Stadium at 7:30 PM IST.

RCB-W have been successful in restricting the opposition to a below-par score in both games. Their bowlers have done well. Especially Lauren Bell, Nadine de Klerk, and Shreyanka Patil. With the bat, Grace Harris, Mandhana, and De Klerk have contributed. GG-W have been pretty good with the bat as well, but their bowlers have leaked runs in all three games, which resulted in a defeat against MI-W.

RCB-W vs GG-W: Ground Pitch Report

It is batting paradise in Navi Mumbai, where if you miss your length, batters will hit you out of the park. You have to be very smart as a bowler. Though the new ball will swing, it won't do much, and batting will be easier with time.

RCB-W vs GG-W: Player to Watch Out For

Probable Best Batter

Grace Harris is our pick from RCB-W. She scored a blistering fifty in the last game. Sophie Devine will be key for GG-W. She is in good form and has played for RCB-W for three seasons.

Probable Best Bowler

Lauren Bell bowls a very crucial spell with the new ball. If she can manage a couple of early wickets, RCBW will be on top. For GG-W, Renuka Thakur has bowled well with the new ball so far.

Today Match Prediction: Both teams have their own strengths, but for us, RCB-W are looking good because of their bowling unit, which has performed well.
